Scheduled Maintenance & Outages

Physical Plant department is a service oriented organization that provides a wide range of services for the campus community, including housekeeping, grounds, carpentry, painting, plumbing, electrical, snow removal, grounds care, and utility generation and distribution. The Department also provides a number of support services, such as moving, project planning, and estimating.

To ensure we provide the best service to our customers, we will post outages and service notices below.

 
Closing Windows

During this cold weather it is critical that windows on campus remain closed to prevent freeze ups.  If your office or room is too warm, please do not simply open the window.  Please contact PPD so that we can remedy the situation.  Similarly, if you have any trouble closing and latching your window, please let PPD know so we can assist.  You can submit a work order at www.colby.edu/ppd or by contacting PPD at X5000.

 
Projects & Renovations
 
Roberts Row Renovations

With major renovation projects to all older campus housing and all three dining halls completed, Colby is planning upgrades for the Roberts Building and the residence halls on Roberts Row.

Renovations of buildings on Roberts Row began with projects in Perkins-Wilson and Pierce. This was the first phase of a program that will eventually see all Roberts Row buildings, including the Roberts Building itself, renovated.

Goddard-Hodgkins is the next dorm on Roberts Row scheduled for maintenance and is currently being designed.
